I want to be where I am not,
and I am not the only one.
I guess there is not many souls,
who are quite pleased with their spot,
and do not dream about the swap.

Have to admit - they must be strong
to carry on just when they are.
The rest of us - unhappy ghosts
dreaming of places somewhere far,
of paradise, which isn't lost.

The place, where greener is the grass,
where bluer sky above the head.
I see it, when I close my eyes,
but soon I have to open them.
Oh, I wish I could keep them shut.

all at once, and little by little, i fell in love. for the first time in my life, it didn't feel like something i needed to force or prove. it simply was. is. and thinking about her, us, the simple, the fun, and the delightfully mundane fills my heart to burst in a way that feels like a secure embrace and a soft kiss on my forehead. i love the sound of her voice, her long-winded stories, and her goofy laugh that betrays the surliness she'd sometimes feign to avoid feeling too much, too quickly. i am seen and heard and loved and valued, and it feels so effortless. never in my days did I imagine wanting to cheerlead and love and support someone so fully, to point it inward and treat myself the same. blues and greens and purples and pinks have never been brighter to me, saturated by the richness of each tender brush stroke in our ongoing tapestry. i love being in love and i love the woman that taught me how to eat the sun and let it go before the moon can miss it.

More you want,
less happy you are.

Less happy you are,
more you want.

Hello yellow
Daffodil, as you scatter
Like the sun.
I see you spread
Your daylight ‘round
But still, your petals
Fall to the ground,
And I think to myself,
“I wish I were you,
I wish I were you but happy.”
we all have that person don’t we

You’re right—
I’m just making excuses.
Why am I so 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥
All of the time?

“You get more sleep
Than 99 percent
Of your friends,”
You said.

So doesn’t that mean
I am supposed to be
Happy?

“Be happy,”
I say to myself
In my head.

I am supposed to be
Fine.

But I am not,
And all I have left
Is excuses.

And yet,
Why do I look for more?

I want somebody
To tell me
That you are not right.

But I know you are.

i know i dont say how i feel
but i want you to feel these words
whenever the sun doesnt shine on cloudy days
as the rain pours so loud
while lightning strikes
as the thunder fights
you give off the light the sun doesnt make.
you give ever dark corner a bright light
you give the air a fresh smell
walking thru my trail
my flowers began to bloom
the butterflies starts fly
as we continued that trail-
i look up and see you shine
so bright
as you smile
so hard
and all i could say
is i love you
that i am in love w you
you are my sunshine
a.l
A troublesome tempo
that I so coolly kept
locked 'way inside my chest
for far too long-
Brought forth in time, at your behest.

Those silvery eyes must truly be
like slivers of marbles made from the
dawn high. As if an angel -in perpetuity-
had plunged from the heavens
directly to me.

She is soft, like the beat of a butterfly's wing-
and her hair, it flows like water in the wind, though
the greatest thing of all
which will, or won't, appall,
is by luck alone I've somehow become her beaux.

And truth be told,
She's got me sold.
For Her.
